I've been using Amazon Music for years, and I'm telling you, from personal experience right this second, that albums I could listen to yesterday, start to finish, repeat, skip, whatever, no longer have that functionality. Could it be a bug they will fix? Maybe. But it's reality as of this moment.

This is 100% correct, regardless of what the article states. I've used Amazon Music for years, and this is a downgrade to the product that we previously had.

I just did it on prime music without unlimited but I'm using a browser.

Ran through the entire album just hitting next song in order

Pretty sure they fricked up all kind of code with this anyways for now

Cause the web version is a mess separate from the shuffle issue right now

Just tried it in browser. Behaving the same way as the app for me. I can search for an album, and even pull the song list, but I can only shuffle the album.

Literally no idea how you're having a different experience, but I don't have high hopes for things to break that way

I'll keep my Apple Music subscription. The algorithms are pretty damn good.

I’ve been very happy with It. It was rare I looked for a song I couldn’t play, and found many great artist/songs through their recommendations already.

Yep. I tried playing it and it prompted me to upgrade to family sharing as my dad is signed in to it already.

ETA: it does the shuffle bull shite for ALL songs. No songs are on demand anymore. Worthless.


I’ve been building a Christmas playlist on there for years.

I just tried to play it and now it only allows me to shuffle it and there’s a “skip limit”. F all that.

Everything you just said is objectively incorrect. I had full albums saved in my library that I could listen to, start to finish, yesterday. I just opened the app and can no longer listen to those albums. If I click on one, it will play a random song from that album.

What I have found is that I seem to have unlimited access to any albums that I have purchased.

Although, I have a lot of songs downloaded on my phone and my app is telling me I have none

I want to test offline play, because that's why I quit Spotify

Now, when I click on that album (whether from my library or individual searched), no matter which song I click on, it will shuffle a random song from that album. There's also a button that says "try Amazon music unlimited".

Sunday I literally listened to Nirvana Unplugged start to finish on my ride back from MS and it was the first thing I tested today, for that reason. You are correct.

Yeah this seems to be a worse setup than it was yesterday. I just tried to play a song I could play from an album on demand yesterday and now it just shuffles to a different song. To make it worse, it just shuffled through about 5 songs on that album in rotation so I couldn’t even skip to get to the song I wanted

I guess it's somewhat "better" if you just like to listen to "stations".
I tried it unintentionally earlier. Walked through and told Alexa to play Randy Travis. Thought I heard a wider variety of songs than usual, but that's about it. I'll keep my YouTube Music subscription for now. Just wish I could integrate that into the Amazon ecosystem.

Was hoping I'd be able to save some money but the family plan for youtube premium and youtube music is worth the cost.

I listen to Amazon Music while I jog and it wouldn't even play the songs I have purchased. Screw Amazon
